First of all, here is a news item I couldn't care less about:
Chelsea Clinton broke her heel. Before you go into a panic, don't worry. She should be OK in time for her summer wedding! Phew! Now hey, Chelsea seems like an OK gal, I have no beef with her. I just don't give a shit about her heel. There are a lot of more important things going on.
Here is a movie I'm super psyched about:
Kick Ass. I am totally psyched for this movie! We will definitely be catching it this weekend. Probably not tonight because I'm freaking exhausted and don't want to fall asleep during it. Maybe a matinee tomorrow!
Finally, here's my unpopular opinion for today:
I think marathons are crazy. As in, not a good idea. Yes, I know it's a big deal for people, yes, I know it's a major accomplishment for everyone who runs it, yes I know many charities raise lots of money. I'm not taking anything away from that. I'm just saying I don't really think the human body is made to run 26.2 miles. It just seems unnecessary. (I say while eating an Oreo. OK, I might just be effing lazy.) I'm just saying, couldn't people stick to a more sane distance like, say 10 miles? I mean, that's still pretty far to run all at once without stopping folks.
Happy Friday.
Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
